This translation "I'd like to drink some alcohol" kind of sounds kind funny, almost sarcastic! "I'd like to have a drink" sounds more like the common thing to say

Why is "I want to drink a little alcohol" not accepted? This is sooooooo frustrating to have to guess such a narrowly defined translation!

I was under the impression that generic 酒 should be taken to mean liquor, whereas 葡萄/紅/白酒 is wine

"I would like a sip of alcohol" was rejected, I think its the perfect translation

Again, 'have' in English is a correct and more natural substitute for 'drink' or 'eat'. It should not be turned down. Also, 酒 refers to alcohol or liquor in general, therefore it should not be corrected to 'wine'.

I understand. And it isn't even lunch time yet in this time zone.

It's extremely frustrating that when you understand the Chinese sentence, type a correct English translation and can be almost certain that your answer will be turned down, because the DL's range of accepted translations is too narrow, or the 'correct translation' is plainly wrong.

"Liquor" should be allowed as a synonym for alcohol. "I would like to drink a bit of liquor." was corrected to "I would like to drink a bit of wine."

There is no "a" in the option.

I'm learning both Chinese and Swedish with this app. Why is there so much negativity and frustration among the Chinese learners. Also, most comments are not about Chinese language but about nuances of English. Why?

A person doesn't go out and drink alcohol. Rather, a person asks for an alciholic drink. These drinks are refered to as liquor. Therefore, for a better translation, replace the word "alcohol" with the word "liquor".
